"Hey, young man, what are you doing here?" A fox-woman saw Lin Fan sitting to the side and walked over curiously to ask.
This is the courtyard where the Holy Maiden of the Tiger Clan resides; anyone who can enter must be extraordinary.
As a fox spirit, it was impossible for her to pursue Hong Yinping. If she could befriend the Holy Maiden through other means, that would be ideal.
Seeing that Lin Fan was good-looking and had a mysterious aura, she couldn't help but want to get closer to him.
She is Qingxue, the most talented fox girl of this generation in the fox clan.
Those seemingly alluring eyes could see into the deepest tenderness and desire in people's hearts. The snow-white fox fur coat that swayed gently in the wind wrapped around her delicate and petite body, adding a touch of charm.
Lin Fan rolled his eyes. "Why can't you all just go and fawn over Miaomiao? Why do you have to come over here?"
As expected, many powerful figures noticed him. The pig and bear tribes, on the other hand, were somewhat hostile. They were able to enter entirely by force, having obtained permission from the Tiger King.
The young man in front of them had been sitting in the courtyard the whole time. It was easy to tell at a glance who was closer to the Tiger Clan's Holy Maiden.
Seeing Lin Fan in a daze, Xue Qing assumed he was attracted by her beauty. She pursed her red lips again, about to speak, but her body suddenly tensed up, and a chill ran down her spine.
She glanced back and saw the Tiger Clan Saintess staring intently at her, the faint killing intent emanating from her seeming to say that if she dared to do anything disrespectful, she would be killed immediately.
A chill ran through her heart. She understood why he was in the saintess's courtyard, and she knew that he wasn't stunned by her appearance, but rather that he thought she was too bold to come and greet him.
"I think this young man is handsome and has an ethereal air about him. No wonder he's here. He and the Holy Maiden are a perfect match, a match made in heaven." She forced a smile, and only after saying this did the oppressive feeling disappear without a trace.
She glanced at Hong Yinping out of the corner of her eye and saw that her expression had eased and a smile had appeared in her eyes, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, I reacted quickly; otherwise, I would have been in grave danger.
However, she was secretly pleased. Since the Tiger Clan's Holy Maiden already had someone she liked, the other clans' prodigies had no chance. This was also a good thing for the Fox Clan, who were struggling to survive in the cracks.
"What do you mean 'a match made in heaven'? Does he even deserve that?" Zhu Dachang said coldly.
Pairs of hostile eyes were fixed on Lin Fan. They were all very hostile towards humans, and the fact that Lin Fan could sit and drink with the Holy Maiden made them even more jealous.
"Human, I'll give you three breaths to get out of here!" Zhu Dachang said coldly.
Lin Fan looked up and said, "I think I'm hallucinating. I think I heard a pig talking!"
"Pfft!"
Xiong Clan's Linghua couldn't help but laugh out loud. Women from other clans also couldn't help but chuckle, barely suppressing their laughter. Because of the Zhu Clan's strength, they weren't as unrestrained as Linghua.
Linghua glared angrily at Lin Fan. After escaping from the Bear Clan, this guy hooked up with the Holy Maiden of the Tiger Clan. She really couldn't understand how he managed to do it.
Although Lin Fan was telling the truth, he was mostly being sarcastic and deliberately trying to embarrass the other party.
"What did you say?" Zhu Dachang was furious. This was the first time he had been humiliated like this, and he couldn't stand it. His fiery temper flared up instantly.
"Ha, it must be because I haven't eaten pork in a long time, so my hallucinations are really bad. I really heard a pig in front of me!" Lin Fan said again.
Hong Yinping couldn't help but laugh. It was still more fun to be by his side; he really could make people angry with his words.
Women from other tribes also clutched their stomachs, trying to suppress their laughter, including Xueqing from the fox tribe.
Zhu Dachang's already dark face turned even darker. He felt deeply humiliated and immediately clenched his fist to punch.
Lin Fan sneered and raised his palm to meet the attack. The two violent forces collided, creating ripples in the space. The space in the courtyard trembled and seemed on the verge of collapsing.
Apart from Hong Yinping, Xiong Er, and Ling Hua, all the other members of the demon beast race were knocked down by the spilled energy.
Lin Fan's arm trembled slightly, and spiritual power surged out like an ocean, knocking Zhu Dachang back several steps. He remained firmly seated, as immovable as a mountain.
At this moment, countless cracks appeared on the ground of the courtyard. If it weren't for the formation weakening their power, the residual force from the collision would have been enough to flatten the entire courtyard.
"So strong!" The geniuses of various races looked at Lin Fan, their expressions changing from contempt to solemnity. Among the new generation of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are probably few human beings who can defeat Zhu Dachang.
Zhu Dachang steadied himself. He had been careless and suffered a setback. He hadn't expected that the human in front of him could actually beat him in a physical contest. It was quite unexpected.
"No wonder he dares to be so arrogant," he said coldly, then strode over, determined to make this human pay the price today.
"Stop!" Hong Yinping stood up and released a powerful aura that swept towards Zhu Dachang, forcing him to circulate his spiritual power to defend himself.
"Saintess Yinping, what do you mean by this?" Zhu Dachang stopped and said with displeasure.
His aura has been locked down. If he insists on making a move, he will probably have to fight the Tiger Clan's Holy Maiden first.
"Not only did you force your way into my yard, but you also attacked me here. I want to ask you what you mean by this. Are you trying to usurp my position?" Hong Yinping said coldly.
She made no attempt to conceal her murderous intent; she was truly determined to kill.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Dachang's face turned pale and then black. Seeing the strange looks from others, he clenched his fists, feeling as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a dead fly.
Lin Fan watched with a smile. This was the Tiger Clan, and he had the Holy Maiden protecting him, so he wasn't afraid of the Pig Clan.
“If you think this is a place where you can do whatever you want, then please leave.” Hong Yinping said calmly.
She received her ancestors' inheritance in the ancestral land, and her strength is quite terrifying among the fifth-tier. If these people dare to act recklessly, she doesn't mind defeating them all.
“Saintess Yinping, what is this lady’s name? Aren’t you going to introduce her?” Linghua stepped forward, changing the subject and easing the atmosphere.
Judging from the Tiger Clan Saintess's demeanor, if she really wanted to drive people away, she would probably drive them all out.
"This is Brother Lin Fan, our important guest." Hong Yinping's cold expression disappeared, replaced by a joyful smile. Those geniuses from various races who reacted quickly knew what was going on.
Their attitude changed so quickly that they would never believe it if you told them their relationship was just ordinary.
Lin Fan bowed to the other prodigies of the magical beast race, not intending to have much interaction with them.
Humans and monsters are inherently opposed, and only under certain special circumstances can their differences be temporarily eliminated. The differences between the two sides cannot be resolved in a short time.
“The blood-red bats have disappeared. I would like to invite the Holy Maiden to join me in searching for the Emperor’s legacy,” Linghua asked.
"If we find such a great opportunity, how should we distribute it?" Hong Yinping asked calmly.
“Of course, it depends on each person’s own ability!” Linghua said.
“Then why do we have to go together? Why don’t you go find it yourselves? Once you find it, no one will take it from you!” Hong Yinping said.
Linghua didn't know what to say. Inviting her was just a pretext; she just wanted to create an opportunity for Xiong'er to spend time together.
"You don't mean you're thinking of going with him, do you?" She paused, looking at Lin Fan with curiosity.
Plotting with others is extremely dangerous. If you really find the Emperor's legacy, you might be harmed and stripped of your tiger skin.
“Of course!” Hong Yinping said.
Fate and such are not really important, and she never thought about them.
"He can't protect anyone," Zhu Dachang said with a hint of sourness. Jealousy can turn a pig into a monster.
“At least I don’t have to worry about anyone doing anything underhanded,” Hong Yinping said with a smile.
Lin Fan helped her awaken her bloodline, which was already the best thing in her heart. What more could she ask for?
His purpose in coming to the Ten Thousand Mountains was to inherit the Great Emperor's legacy, so of course we couldn't compete with him for it.
"Human, you are very strong. I really want to have a match with you!" Xiong Er looked at Lin Fan, his eyes filled with hostility and eager excitement.
It would be a good thing to fight with the human race and learn about their strength in advance.
"I'll definitely try to learn from them if I get the chance. I've already experienced the Bear Clan's abilities firsthand," Lin Fan said.
He still vividly remembers the punch Linghua threw at him.
Xue Qing walked over, not daring to approach Lin Fan anymore. Instead, she talked to Hong Yinping. The women of all ethnic groups were in the same situation.
No one dared to make things difficult for Lin Fan anymore. Looking at Zhu Dachang next to him, he was still embarrassed. If he dared to make a move again, he would be expelled immediately, which would be even more humiliating.
"My lord, what realm are you in?" A young man from the leopard clan approached and asked in a somewhat ingratiating manner.
Judging from the situation of the Tiger Clan's Holy Maiden, it seems hopeless to pursue her. It would be better to befriend Lin Fan first, and then befriend the Holy Maiden through him.
"Sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage!" Lin Fan said calmly.
"Your Excellency possesses extraordinary talent, making you an object of our admiration!" the wolf youth said with a fawning smile.
At the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, he is among the top combatants in the human race. Judging from his appearance, he is probably only around twenty years old. His talent is indeed unparalleled. Given more time, reaching the Tribulation Transcending stage will definitely not be a problem.
The young people from various races cheered and agreed enthusiastically. Although the monsters were opposed to the human race, their reverence for the strong remained unchanged, which made Lin Fan's expression very strange.
Although the powerful monster races don't look like humans, they speak in a human-like manner and are just as good at flattering and fawning as humans.
Are these people dressed in animal skins? He even had some doubts as to whether the people inside these animal skin costumes were actually human.
He felt as if he had left the human race, yet he hadn't; he was still going through the same old routine of socializing.
However, the orcs don't have as many eccentricities in terms of personality; they tend to show their emotions more on the surface.
No wonder they like to demonize humans; they probably can't learn the scheming and intrigue that humans possess.
Looking at this group of simpletons, even the cunning wolf and fox clans seemed endearingly clumsy.
As Hong Yinping conversed with the pearls of various tribes, her gaze occasionally drifted towards Lin Fan, further confirming their thoughts: unless the Tiger Clan's higher-ups intervened with all their might, the men of the various tribes had no chance.
